Doesnt "recognize"?

Under your wei (windows experience index) does it state the correct model?

Does the graphics "work" elsewhere"

DOes the game "require" a specific level of support for things like directX?

WEI states the correct model and i have directX 11 installed.

Is the game a legacy game (read older)?

No. the game is Microsoft Midtown Madness by the way.

i have windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

I know. The update is from 2002 and is the last time the code was changed. May even be 16 bit

it is a 16 bit game, i have read the mm archive but still nothing. is there a way to use the windows xp display drivers in windows 7? the game was working correctly when i had windows xp.
